I'm hoping someone can help me out with a carb issue. I've got a couple bikes and with my SEEG, My '97 Springer has been a little neglected. Last fall it just flat out wouldn't run. Couldn't get it to idle. This winter I pulled the carb off and went over it real well. It was a bit gunked up inside. the price I pay for having a few bikes and wanting to do the work myself, is you pay the price when you get lazy and forget to use fuel stabilizer and winterize properly.
At any rate, clean the carb good. Full disassemble. Replaced the right gaskets and rubber, etc. Put a new enrichner cable on and replaced the VOES for good measure as these are known to go. .
Now, it idles beautifully ba-boom, ba-boom. Just like old times. However, that's about all it does. Won't roll on the throttle at all. And after removing and going over the whole thing to make sure I got it all back together right, same thing. And here's the puzzling thing - Nothing comes out of the accelerator pump nozzle - Nothing. I see gas come from around the neelde which I don't remember before, but I know I should get a mist from the accelerator pump. When I disassembled, I went over everything to try to find a blockage and couldn't. Backfires but won't accelerate up.
I'd sure appreciate any thoughts anyone might have on this. I'd hate to have to take it to the stealer. I generally figure most things out but this one's got me baffled and I'm kind of at my limit on carb know-how. Any comments or suggestions will be welcome. Thanks.
